Before I start, I just want to say...that no matter what...I CANNOT go to a doctor...or tell my parents. So please dont suggest so. Thanks.

Ok...here we go, probably going to be a long one...maybe not though. haha.

About a month ago, I got together with my ex. I had sex with her after she made me believe she was a virgin. Well, Now I think im paying. She left about a day after we did this. And now Im seeing symptoms of what I think MIGHT be genital warts...Actually, Im almost positive. I've seen pictures of this in the worse conditions, and I really don't want that. The onyl catch is, my parents think im a virgin and a doctor would charge out of the ***. How can I be sure that I have Genital warts...and How can I treat them? (Home remedy type things).

Thanks, please help!!!

before everbody starts wrecking on you for "home remedys" let me be the first to tell you and foremost from personal experiences, that THEONLYWAY to be TREATED is with MEDICATION, and it just so happens the only way you can get medication is with a DIAGNOSIS. and the only person that can diagnos you, happens to be a doctor, your health is worth a trip to the doctors bro. i know its hard telling your parents, but as you probably already well know from research, warts stays with you for the rest of your life. and can be harmfull to your health if you let it go untreated, so man up. you need to go get tested. trust me youll thank yourself later. it sucks how one horny mistake can put your a-ss check in such a cruel way. im sorry you had to learn the hard way.

How about a free clinic? Check the phone book, make some phone calls.

You have to get medical treatment for them - if that's what you have. They won't go away on their own. Well, they might, but it usually takes an average of 2 years for the virus to leave your body on its own.

Unfortunately, you MUST go to the doctor. There are no home remedies for genital warts, all the ones you see advertised on-line are just scams. Also, you do not know for sure that these are warts, it could be something else.

I understand that you can't talk to your parents about this, but what about going to Planned Parenthood or to a sexual health clinic (contact your local health department to see if there is one in your area)? Both are completely confidential and the fees are quite low. You can look them both up in the phone book or on-line.

Good luck.

Genital warts generally take a while to show up and to grow to visible size. You don't say if you were a virgin or not. If you were, these might not be warts. If you were not, then maybe you got it from another girl. I am not sure why you say the girl was not a virgin - a guy can't tell.

Still, if you believe you are mature enough to be having sex, why are not mature enough to deal with this potential problem in a mature way?
